Running a penetration test on Hacme Casino to demonstrate common vulnerabilities in modern web applications.

Hacking Hacme Casino

Many businesses and developers are focused on one goal—building a web application that works. However, just because your application works doesn't mean that it's keeping you or your users safe. Many in the tech industry are aware of issues like SQL injection or Cross-Site Request Forgery, but I wanted a way to demonstrate just how damaging these attacks can be and how surprisingly simple they are to perform. Running a penetration test on Hacme Casino, an intentionally vulnerable demo application, allowed me to do just that.
